IGFA will examine scales weighing up to 100 lbs for members at a cost of $40.00. This fee includes return shipment by regular parcel post.

Certified guides and Captains receive a discounted rate of $30.00. Weigh Stations may have one scale (up to 100 lbs) examined for free and pay only the return shipping cost.
Can I bring my scale in and have it certified?
We would be happy to have you visit the IGFA, stop in and say hello and visit the museum (free for members) while your scale is being tested. It takes approximately 10-15 minutes and we are available Monday through Friday from 9-4:30 pm except for holidays. It is important to have your scales tested each year to ensure that they are in compliance for world record applications. Once the catch has been landed and released, you will not have a chance to reweigh your catch again!
